Rebekah Was Childless [06-04]

Image

After a long time, Abraham died and all of the promises that God had made to him in the covenant were passed on to Isaac. God had promised that Abraham would have countless descendants, but Isaac's wife, Rebekah, could not have children.

经过很长一段时间,亚伯拉罕死了。神在盟约中对他所立的承诺都过继给以撒。但以撒的妻子利百加不能生育。如果以撒连一个儿子都没有,就不能成为万民之父。

Translation Notes:

  • the promises … were passed on - The promises of the covenant that God made with Abraham were not for him only, but also for his descendants.
  • countless - This could also be translated as, "very many." The word "countless" means there would be so many descendants that people would not be able to count them.
